    ideal deck size in general?

    what do you find to be the best deck size and composition?

    I know my deck is way to big, so I need a resize, but I can not decide what to cut.

    It depends a lot on what kind of deck you have, if you have a lot of card-buy capability you can use more then 30 cards, but don't use to much because then you will just never get your best cards.

    I would say the best decksize is 30-40, depending on who you use it/what cards you use.

    I believe between 30 and 50 cafés, depending on what deck you use and ofcourse Hero and wath kind of cards.

    30 is best for most all decks. If you have extraordinary draw, or all your cards do the same thing 35-40. (Boris, majiya)

    If your a darkclaw you can run 40 or 50 with 4x Santa and 4x bazaar. But even that, not advised.

    I would say 30 but unless you're elemental you can get decked by a priest or ranger who plays smart. I notice a lot of Majiya (card draw machine) and priest (sit back and wait machine) use 35-45. I am elemental and play 32 cards with 1 Eternal Renewal just in case (shuffle graveyard back into library).

    I think once they release the next set of cards the min deck size should be increased to 40. I can see why it's 30 now because otherwise everyone would have similar looking decks, but once the card pool is increased it'll make the games a little more interesting. Things actually get a little dry when everyone always gets the card they want.

    This game is fun and all but I think it would be better at 40. Yes you get frustrated more, but your opponent isn't hitting his key cards as much either anymore, and I think it'll help take down the power of mages who with 30 card decks can just go "fireball, fireball, lightning strike, lightning strike, I win".

    Not if you have my 'luck', played against a Elemental with a 60 card deck, at the end I only needed a f*cking fireball i had 3 more in my deck and only 12 more cards to go, 2 times i bought 2 cards and didn't got 1, while he stil had a lot of cards to go but got his 4rd (and winning) Mind Control....

    Bad luck s*cks.

    Don't feel bad I lost to a 50 card Logan Stonebreaker deck yesterday. I drew 4 Bad Santas in my opening hand and went second -_-

    Happens to everyone.
